SCHEDULE

    Pick up:  Meet your guide at the lobby of your hotel ( if central located ).
  • At 10.00 visit Longshan Temple and Herb Lane:  Founded in 1738 during the Qing Dynasty has been rebuilt multiple times after destruction by earthquakes, typhoons, and even bombing in the last days of WWII. It is for worshiping Guanshiyin Buddha and over 100 divine spirits. The most important ones are : Matsu, goddess of the sea, Wenchang Dijun, the god of literature, red-faced Guan Gong, the god of war and patron of police and gangsters, and the Old Man Under the Moon, known as the Matchmaker or the Chinese cupid. Longshan Temple is considered not only a temple, a sightseeing attraction, but also a second-degree historical site. Just around the corner from Longshan Temple is this herb-selling area that dates back to Qing times. It’s a great place to sample some of the incredible range of Chinese herbal drinks available, though some may truly curdle your liver.
  • 12. 00 – 13.00 Time for a quick lunch ( included ) to taste some of the specialties of Taiwan ( your guide will discuss with you about the kind of food you like to eat and give you some suggestion for a place to eat ).
  • After lunch visit the Palace Museum, ( entrance ticket included ). Home to the world’s largest and arguably finest collection of Chinese art, this vast collection covers treasures in painting, calligraphy, statuary, bronzes, lacquerware, ceramics, jade and religious objects. It ranks sixth among the top ten most popular museums

  • 15.30 – 17.30 Taipei 101, elevator to the top and mass damper. ( Ticket TWD 600, included )
